Keep Your Pride - A Lion RP - OPEN!

[yesterday.]

(Soooo sorry I haven't posted! I have been out nonstop all weekend. Funeral on Friday, Baby shower on Saturday, I was supposed to have church this morning, but I am sick. Bleh. I tried to post like four times on my dad's smartphone on Friday, but it kept deleting it, them things are annoying!)

Ibadi dipped his head in response and rose, shaking out his pelt gently. He turned, tearing his gaze from the now lone Amber, and headed off into the shrubs. He flicked his ears as he listened and watched the goings-on of the territory, a pair of canaries flitting after one another, a snake slithering off into the grasses, a large lizard fleeing into a tree; everything was as it should be. He approached the edge of the territory and selected a bush, spraying it to let rivals know that this was theirs, then continued down the border doing the same at regular intervals.

Xavi froze as the movement outside stopped. She tried to get a glimpse of the stranger through the branches, but to no avail. She scented the air one more time, cursing herself for being dumb enough to hide instead of running away, then slowly began to edge her way out the bush backwards, separating the two lions with a thicket of brambles. Keeping her head low, she shimmied her way out of the twigs, snapping many a branch in the process, and after a moment crouched behind said bush.

Amber

Amber stopped crying after awhile, knowing it would get her no where. She stood up on the branch and leaped down. The fall, hurt her left hind paw a little, "Ouch." She kept walking with a bit of a limp. Seeing no one around, she trotted a bit faster, heading for the hunting grounds.

Branimir

His head turned towards the sound of a twig snapping. He took a careful step forward with his lip curled in a warning snarl and low growl rippling from his throat. His eyes locked on the bush in front of him, waiting for the intruder to emerge.

Agrona

With a faint and slightly annoyed sigh, she stood up. The two siblings had both run off somewhere, though she wasn't really concerned, and so she wandered off to seek something better to amuse herself. I could hunt I suppose, she thought.

Xavi took a few moments to steady herself, take a few deep breaths, and come up with an escape plan. After a moment a deep growl split the silence, sending the courage she had been gathering back a few paces. The more stubborn side of her wanted to confront the male with a proudly raised head, not bothering to show any respect, but the more wise and practical side took precedence in this situation. She lowered her head and body, so that her belly nearly touched the sandy ground, and slowly edged out from behind the bush. Her ears were pinned back, lips raised slightly to display her glistening teeth, she was being submissive but those to things showed she meant buisness, she wasn't afraid to defend herself. The young lioness appeared even lesser in age because of the lack of food she had been able to hunt in the past few months, but she displayed confidence to the stranger.

Branimir

He looked down at the scrawny lioness that crawled out from the bush. His stance was tall, proud, and he was not intimidated. He wasn't usually mean, but he had yet to determine her as harmless or a threat to his pride. He softened just a little, but kept up his guard as he eyed her, carefully.

Xavi studied the large lion in front of her, ears pricking forward slightly. He stood proud and majestic, not seeming the slightest bit worried by her presence. She examined every visible inch of him, from the tip of his whiskers to the last hair on his tail, as she searched him for hints at what his intentions might be now that she was out in the open. Moments passed as the stood there eyeing each other, neither willing to let their guard down, but neither seemed willing to make the first move. She lowered her lip and cocked her head lightly as he seemed to soften, if even just a bit, and raised her head to look into the older lions eyes. Not in a challenging or provoking way, just innocently curious.

Branimir

He looked at her for a few moments longer before deciding to accept her as not a threat. He took a step back, getting a better look at her. "Who are you and why are you here?" His tone was a mix of stern and somewhat curious.

I, uh... She mumbled, lowering her head to look at his paws. "Just traveling, passing through." Her current submissive possition was getting somewhat uncomfortable to hold so she rose a little, hesitated, then sat back on her haunches. She flicked her ears as a light breeze blew through, a nice refreshment from the African heat, tail swaying at her side.
